Rock-blocks this week! Requests from listeners on Facebook, Twitter and even that antiquated ringing device helped me choose the majority of artists featured on this show: Clifford Brown, Eddie Jefferson, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington. At 5:15pm eastern the Virgin Sacrifice goes down with a side of unplayed vinyl, this time it'll be McDuff/Benson, courtesy of Jim Driscoll. Expect off the beaten path cuts from Miles, Monk and Ellington. US residents can listen online via iHeart. We are also on Spotify (WFCF).
